One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Occurrence of reservoir rocks

Reservoir rocks are the primary source of hydrocarbons in a field and their occurrence determines the feasibility of a petroleum development. Mastering the types of sedimentary environments (marine, non‑marine, deltaic, carbonate, evaporitic, and volcanic) and the rock‑type controls (sandstone, carbonate, fractured basement, and unconsolidated sands) is essential for predicting porosity, permeability, and ultimately…
